Theatre Acting - Purdue University - Main Campus

Theatre Acting from Purdue University - Main Campus is a Campus Bachelor Acting degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The acting program at Purdue University seeks to expand the young actor?s range of knowledge and expression through the performance of drama. The actor is a channel for the truth in the play and must possess the ability to comprehend the playwright?s message and communicate it as a character. The acting program consists of acting core classes, specialized training, and related required courses. Upon completion, the student may choose to enter directly into an acting career, any communication-related field, or pursue graduate study for a career in theatre. Points of Pride Two new theatres in Purdue?s new Visual Performing Arts Building opened in 2005. The Nancy T. Hansen Theatre is a proscenium house seating 300 people, while the Gordon Mallett Studio Theatre features a flexible configuration and seats 105-155 people. These new theatres complement additional, larger campus venues. The study of theatre should include both the classroom study and practical application of those studies. Therefore, students are encouraged and expected to be active members of our production community. In this laboratory setting, the student not only applies information and ideas learned in classes, but also learns the critical life lessons of responsibility, commitment, and cooperation, which are crucial skills needed for survival in the 21st century.
